2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LB17 VFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 35,357 miles. This result indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the car moved from a test with multiple tyre-related defects to a result with no recorded defects. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between July 2022 and August 2023, the car covered only 4,600 miles, suggesting consistent low-use patterns. The jump of 8,355 miles between 2023 and 2024 represents a temporary increase in activity. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion if not driven regularly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension geometry. The August 2024 test at 28,338 miles flagged both rear tyres as worn on the inner and outer edges, which typically indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Although the 2025 test passed without defects, the underlying cause of uneven tyre wear warrants verification to prevent premature new tyre replacement. The offside front nail previously noted in 2024 suggests the owner was attentive to immediate safety hazards, but the current tyre condition should be checked for bulges or structural damage resulting from that previous fault.
